Artist Statement for Cathleen Richardson Bailey
|
|
|
Artists are inventors, shaping the new from the already established. I love the feel and smell of fabric and use contempoary fabric as well as old velvets, satins and taffetas I've managed to free from antique shops and second-hand stores. This commingling of eras brings a certain character to the quilt. Dreams and visions play a key role as well. Some of my ideas about quilts come to me through the whisperings of ancestors and unknown/unseen muses. I sleep with a pad beside my bed and expect. Other inspiration comes from nature, the certain turn of a leaf, the smell of freshly mowed grass or lightening flashing across a dark sky in a thunderstorm. Contact me at mail@cathleenbailey.com
